Obama pick a leading oil shale opponent

Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO)

President-elect Barack Obama has pegged Sen. Ken Salazar (D-Colorado) as his pick for Secretary of the Interior. AFF believes this pick is problematic, given Sen. Salazar’s fierce opposition to oil shale.

This summer, AFF produced its seven-point, America First Energy Agenda. One of the major points in the agenda was the extraction of domestic oil shale to help rid our dependence on foreign dictators for our energy needs.

Salazar has staked his ground, and likely will continue to advocate against this precious domestic fuel from his perch in the cabinet.

AFF will be watching closely.
